Keith Barker looks furious as Borthwick edges him for four and then Stoneman pulls him for six over the short boundary. The runs are coming fast bow and, with little movement for the bowlers, it’s not obvious where Ian Bell should turn. Hannon-Dalby is going to have a spell now, but there is no obvious help from him in these conditions.

I think the question r.e. Cook is that his contract as an overseas player is until the SA v England test series, at which point Tom Latham's overseas contract starts. But what happens if Cook isn't called up?

They will probably take a decision after there is confirmation. For now, de Bruyn looks like he'll keep Cook out for a while.

Alex Thomas - I know, but I sure is contract is only suppose to last till the Test series but they might not call him.

Just watched the live steam of the Surrey game for a minute or two and watched what I think was an all run 4. Incredible speed between the wickets - Borthwick and Stoneman are seriously rapid

Static_a357 - Hard has to bat in front of a career number three with a Test Hundred, Yes a big talent and hard to judge him against such a good attack in a match where is teammates are struggling

Really tough start to the season for Sussex. Agreed on Rawlins - clearly a very promising youngster but not sure he needs to be thrown in at 3 in this sort of situation. Would surely make sense for the experience of Van Zyl or maybe event Luke Wright to put their hands up.

New FC best for Topley. (yes, this is not the most of exciting games at the moment.)
